All right, I'm going to be up working for a good while tonight, so you hip chicks and fellers gotta give me something to keep checking in on.

Tell me your top five rock songs of all time. Er, OK--I don't really believe in ranking music like that, so just give me five songs that really kick ass. It can be pretty much anything, but it has to rock. "You Dropped a Bomb on Me"? Fine. That song thumps. "Ripple"? Nuh-uh. Great song (yes, I'm actually admitting to liking a Grateful Dead song), but it just don't rock, dig? And try to think of something that's practically perfect. Like if the bridge sucks, don't list it. If it's got a kung-fu jam section that gets a little too out there, kill it. Oh, and try to limit yourself to one song per band.

Here's five from me. OK, so I can't limit myself to five, so here's a few. Gimme however many you want to.

"Kill Yourself"--Stormtroopers of Death

"Fun House"--The Stooges

"Bonin' in the Boneyard"--Fishbone

"Ace of Spades"--Motorhead

"Into the Void"--Black Sabbath

"In My Time of Dying"--Led Zeppelin

"Ghouls' Night Out"--The Misfits

"Thieves"--Ministry

"Joe McCarthy's Ghost"--The Minutemen

"She Watch Channel Zero?!"--Public Enemy (w/ a killer Slayer sample)

OK, what's that, ten? Wow, and that's leaving all kinds of bands out. I'd better stop and get to work. Discuss amongst yourselves.

Rock Around the Clock - The Comets (seriously, listen to how HARD the bass rocks in this song)
Surrender - Cheap Trick
The End of the World - The Avengers
Rock and Roll High School - The Ramones

oh shit . . . just five?

Nah, forget that, gimme all ya got! (And you only said four anyway!) :)

Off the top of my head and in no particular order:

Happy Hour - The Housemartins
Love Will Tear Us Apart - Joy Division
Planet Earth - Duran Duran
She Bop - Cyndi Lauper
Mrs. Brownstone - Guns n Roses
Jesus Built my Hotrod - Ministry
Givin up the Nappy Dugout - Ice Cube
Christine - Siouxsie and the Banshees
Dollars and Sense - DJ Quik
Bye Bye Mon Cowboy - Mitsou
Oh My Fucking God - Strapping Young Lad

I think that's a pretty colourful list.

I started to put that Joy Division tune on my list! And I never listened to Ice Cube much (though I give him mad respect), but I will always remember the touching lyric, "You should have put a sock on the pickle, and then your pussy wouldn't be blowin' smoke signals."

See, SOCKS! You can't lose with SOCKS!

HA! I was wondering if anyone was going to pick up on my error. I was on the phone as I was typing that and god dammit, you can't go back and edit on comments.

Death Certificate is Ice Cube's finest piece of work....well at least as far as I'm concerned. It's an album you just can't live without.

If you're so sock-ily gifted, do you know the sock rule??

Ummm . . . one if by land, two if by sock?

Socks aren't vegetables, man, they should be wiped out?

I before E, except after sock?

Or is it more practical, like don't jack off in your favorite sock?

My secret is out--I should have paid more attention in 11th-grade laundry class . . .

Hmmm, I was just talking about the no white socks with dark pants rule.

I never knew of this other sock world. I like the I before E, except after sock.

I'm gonna make a post about socks on my journal now because my sock-story is too long to write as a comment.

If at first you don't succeed, sock.

Hell yeah!

"If it don't make dollas it don't make sense...."

5 Favorite songs...

1. Elton John - Yellow Brick Road
2. Cheap Trick - I want you to want me
3. INXS - Never Tear Us Apart
4. Guns n Roses - November Rain
5. The Beatles - Hey Jude

I gotta get on the Cheap Trick bandwagon. That's a gaping hole in my cultural literacy. :)

"La Grange" -- ZZ Top
"Roxanne" -- The Police
"Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap" -- AC/DC
"Whole Lotta Love" -- Led Zeppelin
"Slow Ride" -- Foghat
"Pour Some Sugar On Me" -- Def Leppard

The entire soundtrack album from the animated motion picture "Heavy Metal".

I really really thought about including "La Grange," but I couldn't decide between it and "Got Me Under Pressure," so I guess I ended up going with neither!

*must . . . refrain . . . from . . . talking shit . . . about Def Leppard*

;)

gleucifer and the hellacopters- her strut (cover of the equally rockin' bob seger)
lynyrd skynyrd- gimme back my bullets
black flag- black coffee
cheap trick- surrender
danzig- am i demon

why'd ya have to cut it off at FIVE?!

Words cannot express the depth of my admiration for you for including "Am I Demon." :)

*wonders why he didn't put "Evil Thing" on his list*

These songs all RAWK and coincidentally, all but one were released in the 1980's:

Fugazi - Margin Walker
The Fucking Champs - What's a Little Reign?
Bad Religion - I Want to Conquer the World
Operation Ivy - Knowledge

And of COURSE

Slayer - Angel of Death

Nice! I started to include "Angel of Death," but I eventually decided to kill two birds with one stone with "She Watch Channel Zero?!"

You know, I actually meant "Waiting Room" for the Fugazi track, I don't know why I put "Margin Walker" instead.

I dunno, Flavor Flav always kind of ruined that whole P.E. album for me, his style just seems kind of gratuitous to me, and he's almost sycophantic towards Chuck D. It's always "Yeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaahh boy-eee!" to whatever Chuck says.

maxwell murder - rancid (best bass solo, ever)
linoleum - nofx (really fast drums)
teenage wasteland - the Who
bullet - Misfits
train in vain - clash

One of the editors here saw my London Calling CD on my desk yesterday. He said, "Wow, I didn't have you pegged as a Clash fan!" I thought, ME? He's a guy who wears goofy ties and has grown children. Anyway, he was telling me that "Train in Vain" wasn't originally listed on the album sleeve. Impressed me.

I have to agree, that is a really great bass solo. . .

Welcome to the Jungle -- gn'r
Polyester bride -- liz phair
Dr. Feelgood -- Motley Crue
I Hate Every Bone in Her Body (But Mine) -- Poison
Eich bein ein auslander -- pop will eat itself

Thumbs up on "Jungle." They kinda lost me after Appetite for Destruction, but that album RULED!

Radiohead - Paranoid Android
Led Zeppelin - Stairway To Heaven
Queensryche - Silent Lucidity
Ben Folds - The Luckiest
Phish - Divided Sky
Rush - La Villa Strangiato

Ok, thats 6.

Ooooh, rush, I didn't even think about Rush! YYZ!

I wanted to put YYZ, but didn't want to double for the same band. Rush is my all time favorite.

edgar winter- frankenstein
led zeppelin- immigrant song
black sabbath- symptom of the universe
propellorheads- bang on!
metallica- blackened

i won't call these the five greatest rock songs, but they're the first five i found in my collection that rock really hard.

I used to think Overkill's cover of "Frankenstein" was even better than Edgar's version. I was kinda cracked.

Let's see...
Pantera-Cemetary Gates
Fear Factory-Resurrection
Turbonegro-The Age of Pamparius
Sepultura-Chaos AD
Primus-Pudding Time

& well...
Anthrax-Got The Time
Life of Agony-River Runs Red
AFI-Total Immortal
and far too many others, including The Nuge.

Word!

Nice ones--I'll have to download some of the unfamiliar ones!

PEACE OUT
